just doing some weekend^Wmonday night hacking

for some reason the batteries are shielded by a hard plastic thing with both phillips and star security screws?

need to replace this hmm

good to know it’s still functional while we’re flashing it at some point later to remove the “brrrrrrr brr brr brrrrrrr brr brr brrrrrrr” setting that no one no where has ever wanted ever

there’s three 8-pin SOICs in there that look like they probably hold firmware for the buttons and an EM78P37N that is probably motor control and another chip labelled A30817C03AH that probably i’m guessing is driving the battery/power controls but idk https://www.electronicsdatasheets.com/download/534cf558e34e2406135f4458.pdf?format=pdf

ok while we were hacking the boyfriend came into the room

him: it has a fan!!!

us: yes. the internet has been very excited that it has a fan.

him: ONLY FANS!!!!!!

ok well we’re all exhausted from monday and 2020 in general over here so we’ll have to pick this up soon**

** obviously soon because how many days can one go without a magic wand
